Again, I don't know what you're saying. I'm not sure if it's the fact that I'm may not be familiar with the subject or your spelling.

"Ghetto skaters" I saw the name and realized I wouldn't be able to understand anything you were going to say. I was right.

Anyways, no, I do not believe entertainment affects people at all. If you kill someone, you were fucked up before you saw Freddy vs. Jason.

It´s proven that their influence is zero UNLESS combined with an unstable psyche.Then it CAN be desasterous,but that itself is no "must".

As for me,movies like that don´t affect me at all apart from making me either fall asleep or laugh.In rare cases I´m even genuinely entertained.

Think about it... Some of the most savage leaders of all times never had the kind of video games and movies that exist today and yet. These people existed before the evolution of movies and the emergence of video games.

I can think of a few:
- Ghangis Khan
- Ivan the Terrible
- Hitler
- Stalin
- Queen 'bloody' Mary

It was meant in general. I know you weren't.

But... Hitler was around for movies... in fact he made movies to promote his ideals. Hitler was a master at propaganda. So, apparently his movies were semi-influential. Movies like Scream, Freddie Vs. Jason, etc. are just stupid and there isn't really anything influential in them. The scariest movies are the type that promote stereotypes and give misleading figures as cold-hard facts... those are the ones that influence even the "non-crazies" and change the minds of the weak and misinformed. Or they just solidify the misconceptions of those who share the beliefs of the propagandist...
